Beyond Positive Thinking – Dr. Robert Anthony
Positive Responses
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
Then, there’s the positive approach. These are the enthusiastic people who say:
“Terrific.”
“Fantastic.”
“Great.”
“Excellent.”
“Super.”
“I’m on top of the world.”
“It doesn’t get any better.”
Those who use positive words like these have a bounce in their step and you feel a little better just by being around them. Be honest. How did you feel as you read the positive list? I don’t know about you, but I’m energized and excited as I review that list. These are the people I look forward to meeting today. These are the people who are more likely to get my business.
Why not go back and re-read the negative list and the mediocre list. Say them out loud. How do they make you feel? Bummed out, for sure! You see, if given the choice, I’d rather be around people who are positive and full of life… as opposed to those who are negative and listless.
It’s like the old saying that everybody lights up a room – some when they walk into the room… and some when they walk out! You want to be the one who lights up a room when you walk in!
As for me, when someone asks me how are you? I usually respond with Terrific! It projects a positive attitude to the other person and the more I say it, the more I feel terrific!
